Hey, girl--it's Thursday

New Thursday, new opportunities. And those opportunities would be:

1) Insound is having another warehouse sale at their location in Brooklyn (61 Greenpoint Avenue), 5-8p. This will include free Brooklyn Brewery beer, and maybe food? And promo goodies (pens?!). In case you're unfamiliar with Insound, their website has a pretty insane selection of CDs and vinyl. Also, they regularly update with free mp3s from upcoming albums.

3) The Soundtrack Series continues at Le Poisson Rouge. This is a (free!) monthly event, where writers, actors, comics, musicians, etc. pick songs and tell stories inspired by those songs. Songs this time around are diverse as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The Lonely Goatherd"(Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music). Doors are at 7p, show starts at 8p.

4) Wavves and Dum Dum Girls are playing a free show at the East River Park as part of the parks' Summer Stage series, 7p. The end of free summer shows is in sight, and it makes me sad. This promises to be an evening lo-fi fun. May or may not include Nathan Williams' rage.

5) Summer movies are also almost over!Brooklyn Bridge Park's Movies with a View is screening Rosemary's Baby. As usual, music is at 6p, film starts at sunset. See earlier post for additional freebie/food tips for this event.

6) Another free Spotify concert at the Mercury Lounge; tonight is Oberhofer, with Exitmusic and The Suzan. Doors are at 10p, the line starts at 9:30p.
